Isaiah 13:4-9

4The sound of a tumult is on the mountains as of a great multitude! The sound of an uproar of kingdoms, of nations gathering together! The Lord of hosts is mustering a host for battle.

5They come from a distant land, from the end of the heavens, the Lord and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

6Wail, for the day of the Lord is near; as destruction from the Almighty it will come!

7Therefore all hands will be feeble, and every human heart will melt.

8They will be dismayed: pangs and agony will seize them; they will be in anguish like a woman in labor. They will look aghast at one another; their faces will be aflame.

9Behold, the day of the Lord comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger, to make the land a desolation and to destroy its sinners from it.
